De gemeente Groningen wil zoveel mogelijk Stadjers de gelegenheid geven om te sporten en te spelen. De gemeente Groningen heeft in samenwerking met de InnovatieWerkPlaats Beweegvriendelijke Inrichting Openbare Ruimte (IWP BIOR) het afgelopen jaar een aantal kansen benut om de openbare ruimte zo in te richten dat het uitnodigt tot spelen, bewegen en ontmoeten. De Oosterkade is hier onderdeel van en deze locatie is op 20 mei 2016 officieel geopend.

Duurzaam Groningen in 2035

In deze studie wordt nagegaan of het energieverbruik van de stad Groningen in 2035 voor elektriciteit en warmte volledig verduurzaamd kan worden door middel van wind, zon of biomassa. Tevens wordt nagegaan wat dit zou betekenen voor de omgeving en wat het kost. De randvoorwaarde is dat de stad Groningen in 2035 volledig zelfvoorzienend is. Het energieverbruik dat noodzakelijk is voor mobiliteit (benzine en diesel) is in deze studie niet meegenomen.Er worden drie scenario’s bestudeerd. Twee all-electric scenario’ s waarbij duurzame energieopwekking gebeurt door windturbines of zonnepanelen en aan de warmtevraag wordt voldaan via warmtepompen. Daarnaast een scenario met biomassa/biogas waarbij de benodigde elektriciteit wordt opgewekt in warmtekracht installaties. Uitgangspunt van de studie zijn gerealiseerde tijdafhankelijke gegevens voor de stad Groningen over 2012. Er wordt uitgegaan van de huidige stand van de techniek. De lezer wordt uitgedaagd op basis van eigen inzichten de gevolgen van technologische vooruitgang in de resultaten te verwerken.

How to win the war for talent in the IT-City of Groningen

Groningen as the Dutch Silicon Valley? Too good to be true? Of all jobs in the city, about seven and a half percent are in the IT sector. According to het Financieel Dagblad (2018), IT giants as IBM and Google, but also smaller IT companies and start-ups attract recent graduates, which works wonderfully well in Groningen. However, although attrachting the IT talent has some ins and outs to consider, from a recent article by IT-stad Groningen, it appears that many of the IT companies and players in this vibrant industry have faced the challenges of retaining IT talent they got in. In order to do something about it, IT companies in Groningen need to brand themselves—not just for customers, but for retaining the best possible candidates. The solution? Employer branding!

Musicking in Groningen

This study focuses on the uses and functions of music in the life of individuals in the province of Groningen at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The study is an ethnomusicological study representing the sub-discipline of ethnomusicology-at-home. It uses Andreas Reckwitz’ formulation of practice theory as a theoretical starting point and introduces methodological principles from the field of qualitative sociology. Central in the study is the individual. 30 theoretically sampled individuals recounted their musical biographies in narrative-biographical interviews, which were analyzed in detail and eventually led to a sufficiently suggested grounded theory of the uses and functions of music in Groningen AD 2010. The theory consists o three interrelated compartments. The first compartment contains a description o the uses o music a expressed b the interviewees. ‘Use’ refers t the ‘customary exercise o music’ i concrete musical social situations. The result o this study i of this study. The study describes how three cultural codes seem to be shared amongst many (though not all) of the interviewees: the codes of playing an instrument, craftsmanship, and musicality, together forming the supercode of the music specialist. These three more general codes are combined with two further codes to form the highly specific and culturally hegemonic musical subject culture of art music, expressing that music is a specialism; it is the craft of playing an instrument by talented individuals; that this craftsmanship must be combined with expressivity; and that through this form of specialized expression musical objects come into being which represent the ideal realm of the artistic. By discussing this attempt at a grounded theory of the uses and functions of music in Groningen AD 2010, a picture is delivered of how individuals become musical individuals. Through their musicking in the context of concrete musical social situations they use music for the functions of affirmation, connection and regulation of the self; and they do this in the context of a web of cultural codes labeling shared and disputed – and sometimes hegemonic – ways of doing and talking. An evaluation of the theory and methodology used in this study shows that both assist in further developing the field of ethnomusicology(-at-home); an evaluation of the results in the light of existing research shows that they contribute to further insights into the uses and functions of music. Four areas for further research are mentioned: typologizing the uses and functions of music, musical discourses, musical subject cultures, and the place of the musical subject order of art music in contemporary society. The study ends with a description of the possible implications for conservatoires. Conservatoires are recommended to encourage students to think of their future audiences in the broadest possible terms, taking into account the wide variety of uses and functions of music figuring in the daily lives of musicking individuals. They are encouraged to make students look upon themselves (also) as service providers, and as such to be open and non-judgmental in their relationships towards the musical other. Conservatoires are recommended to translate this into their curricula by devising transformative projects in which students meet ‘musical others’, and by encouraging their students to take their possible audiences into account consciously in any musical social situation they devise or find themselves in.

Een gedurfde oplossing voor wateroverlast in de stad Groningen: Heropen het Zuiderdiep!

Het Gedempte Zuiderdiep in Groningen was voor de demping een cruciale gracht voor watervoorziening, scheepvaart en riolering. Tegenwoordig is de straat juist één van de risicoplekken bij extreem weer en er dreigt dan waterschade bij de omliggende panden. Durft de gemeente het diep ooit weer open te breken om de waterhuishouding van de stad te verbeteren?
